Technical description

WebCore in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 through 10.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted HTML that triggers a "memory management error" in WebKit, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as originally reported for the KHTMLParser::popOneBlock function in Apple Safari 2.0.4 using Javascript that changes document.body.innerHTML within a DIV tag.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from apple. Update safari to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
